Acquisition Information The collection of his correspondence and papers came to The Bancroft Library by various gifts of Mr. Kent and the Democratic State Central Committee from 1965 through 1974. Biographical Sketch Roger Kent was born on June 8, 1906, in Chicago, Illinois, the youngest of seven children of William and Elizabeth (Thacher) Kent. William Kent (1864-1928) was a prominent Progressive Republican who served as independent Congressman from the California First Congressional District from 1911 to 1917 and later was appointed by President Woodrow Wilson to a four year term on the U.S. Tariff Commission. Elizabeth (Thacher) Kent (1868-1952) was a leader in the women's suffrage movement. Roger Kent attended Washington D.C. and Marin County public schools and Thacher School at Ojai, California. He was graduated from Yale in 1928 and from Yale Law School in the class of 1931. In 1930, he married Alice Cooke of Honolulu. Starting in 1931, Kent was employed as an attorney with the San Francisco law firm of Chickering & Gregory until he resigned in 1936 to become senior attorney in the San Francisco regional office of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Following 3 1/2 years of service in the Navy, Kent became a partner in the new San Francisco law firm of Crimmins, Kent, Bradley & Burns in April 1946. Kent has been associated with the firm to the present with the exception of a leave of absence from March 1952 to May 1953 when he was General Counsel for the Department of Defense and, briefly, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense. Kent registered in the Democratic Party in 1928 and ran for Congress in the First Congressional District in 1948 and 1950. Though not nominated, he received more votes than any other candidate on both political tickets in the 1948 primary. In 1950 he lost to the Republican incumbent after nomination. From December 1953 to August 1954, Kent was the Northern California chairman of the Richard Graves for Governor Committee and was elected chairman of the Northern California Division of the Democratic State Central Committee later in 1954. Because of his outspoken California political leadership, Kent served an unprecedented tenure, alternating every two years as either chairman or vice chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee from 1954 to 1965. During this period, he was also active in the 1956 Presidential campaign of Adlai Stevenson, and served as state chairman of the 1960 Kennedy-Johnson campaign, Northern California chairman of the 1962 Edmund G. Brown for Governor campaign, Northern California chairman of the 1964 Johnson-Humphrey campaign and as co-chairman of the Committee to Re-Elect Governor Brown. He also served as a member of the Postmaster General's Stamp Advisory Committee in 1961 and as chairman of the Western States Democratic Conference from 1962 to 1965. The Kent family resides at Kentfield in Marin County, California. Scope and Content The collection consists of 31 boxes and 3 cartons and documents Kent's political activities for the period from 1947 through early 1974. The correspondence prior to 1954 primarily relates to his campaigns for Congress and his positions with the Department of Defense; the material for the period 1954-1965 to his leadership as head of the California Democratic State Central Committee and chairman and co-chairman of various local and state political campaigns. The correspondence after 1965 includes many candid assessments and discussions with leading local, state and national figures and political aspirants regarding a variety of liberal contemporary issues. The collection comprises letters addressed to Kent together with copies of his replies; personalia; a diary; speeches; memoranda; photographs and portraits; clippings; and a general subject file. Most of the portraits have been removed and indexed separately in the portrait collection. The Papers as a whole are described in greater detail in the Key to Arrangement which follows.

    Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and Its Role in U.S. Trade Policy J. F. Hornbeck Specialist in International Trade and Finance August 5, 2013 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R41922 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and Its Role in U.S. Trade Policy Summary Congress created Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) in the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 to help workers and firms adjust to dislocation that may be caused by increased trade liberalization. It is justified now, as it was then, on grounds that the government has an obligation to help the “losers” of policy-driven trade opening. TAA is also presented as an alternative to policies that would restrict imports, and so provides assistance while bolstering freer trade and diminishing prospects for potentially costly tension (retaliation) among trade partners. As in the past, critics strongly debate the merits of TAA on equity, efficiency, and budgetary grounds. Nonetheless, finding agreement on TAA remains important for forging a compromise on national trade policy. TAA program authorizations are scheduled to expire on December 31, 2013. The Trade Adjustment Assistance Extension Act of 2013 (S. 1357) was introduced in the 113th Congress. It would extend TAA programs through 2020. President Obama also supports TAA reauthorization, linking it to renewal of Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), which Congress may also take up this year. This report discusses the role of TAA in U.S. trade policy from its inception as a legislative option in the early 1950s to its core role as a cornerstone of modern trade policy that many argue has served to promote the long-term U.S.

University Microfilms, A Xerox Education Company iii PREFACE Marin County has been written about as a place where charming Indian legends abound, where misty beauty evokes a breathless appreciation of natural wonders, where tales of the sea are told around cozy hearths, and where nostalgia for the old California of Mexican hidalgos and an exotic array of inter­ national characters finds responsive audience. Even today the primary interests of Marin chroniclers center on old settlers, their lives and their fortunes, and the exotic polyglot of ethnic groups that came to populate the shores of the waters that wash Marin. This effort to analyze by example some of the social processes of Marin is in large part an introductory effort.

The United States has exacerbated PPE shortages with Section 301 tariffs on these goods, part of a trade war with China. This has a disparate impact felt by minority communities because of a series of health inequity harms. COVID’s racial disparity appears in virus exposure, virus susceptibility, and COVID treatments. This Article makes legal, policy, and race-and-health arguments. Congress has delegated to the United States Trade Representative expansive authority to increase tariffs.

    Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974: Origin, Evolution, and Use Updated December 14, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R46604 SUMMARY R46604 Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974: Origin, December 14, 2020 Evolution, and Use Andres B. Schwarzenberg Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 grants the Office of the United States Trade Representative Analyst in International (USTR) a range of responsibilities and authorities to investigate and take action to enforce U.S. Trade and Finance rights under trade agreements and respond to certain foreign trade practices. From the conclusion of the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations in 1994, which resulted in the establishment of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995, until the start of the Trump Administration, the United States used Section 301 authorities primarily to build cases and pursue dispute settlement at the WTO. The Trump Administration has shown more willingness to go outside of the WTO to act unilaterally under these authorities to promote what the Administration touts as “free,” “fair,” and “reciprocal” trade. The Trump Administration’s use of Section 301 to impose tariffs as punitive measures has been the subject of congressional and broader international debate, and some in Congress have raised a number of questions regarding USTR’s actions, including the scope of USTR’s authorities, the types of trade actions allowed, and the tariff exclusion process. The Trump Administration has attributed its use of Section 301 to impose tariffs as punitive measures to its determination to close a large and persistent gap between U.S.

  • Trump Vs. China? Tariffs Under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 Revisited
    207 Trump vs. China? Tariffs under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 Revisited Eric Hanada https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9257-9635 Abstract This study challenges the common belief that the ‘Trump tariffs’ are protectionist or a deliberate attack on China, the USA’s economic rival. By focusing specifically on Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and equating its use to Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, this study instead demonstrates how the U.S. administration is actively repurposing protectionist laws to func- tion as unilateral enforcement tools. Thus, this study argues that the tariffs enacted on steel and aluminium in 2018 under the guise of national security are not meant to protect the domestic market or to hurt the Chinese, but rather to ‘protect’ the ability of U.S. businesses to make profits abroad. By contrasting the justification for the tariffs to factual application, China is not identified as a target but rather as a convenient fig leaf. The article goes into further detail to demonstrate how the U.S. (ab)uses these tariffs during negotiations with South Korea, Japan, and other nations and finds multiple examples of how others have been affected significantly more than China. Here, the article describes how U.S. officials have mastered the art of simultaneously creating leverage, exchanging it for concessions, and keeping it.
